I had to choose career or love, I chose love: On 36th anniversary, Anil Kapoor talks about 'the beginning of his long love story' with wife Sunita Kapoor
Anil Kapoor and wife Sunita Kapoor are celebrating 36 years of their wedding anniversary and 46 years of togetherness today. On the happy occasion, Anil posted a video on Twitter recalling the moment he proposed to his ladylove and how 'stressed' he was.
“This is the beginning of a long love story on the night of May 17. I signed a kind of important film, which was a big step in my career, and on May 18, I took an even bigger step. I proposed to my girlfriend Sunita and asked her to be my wife. Oh God, I was so stressed. I kept on postponing and postponing… A time came when I had to choose career or love. I chose love and I proposed to her on May 18,” he said in the video.
“People celebrate anniversaries, we celebrate the proposals, as well! We never let ourselves forget how fortunate we are to have so much to be grateful for,” he added.
In an interaction with Humans of Bombay in 2018, Anil had said that Sunita was the one who kept him going. “They don’t make people like her anymore. She’s the perfect mother, perfect wife...and the reason I wake up every morning, motivated. You know why? When I ask her, ‘Arrey, yesterday only I gave you so much money’ she says, ‘Woh sab khatam ho gaya...it’s all finished!’ and I jump out of bed and run to work!” he had said.
Anil and Sunita have three children - actors Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Harshvardhan Kapoor and stylist-producer Rhea Kapoor.
